Alle fly til og fra lufthavnen Luton i London er aflyst frem til klokken 12 onsdag. Det sker efter en brand i et parkeringshus.
Det oplyser lufthavnen ifølge nyhedsbureauet AFP.
- Passagerer rådes til ikke at rejse til lufthavnen på nuværende tidspunkt, da adgangen fortsat er stærkt begrænset, lyder det i en udtalelse fra lufthavnen.
På det sociale medie X, tidligere Twitter, skriver brand- og redningstjenesten i Bedfordshire, at bygningen, der er i brand, har lidt et "betydeligt strukturelt sammenbrud".
- Brandmandskab arbejder på at slukke branden og forhindre, at den spreder sig til tilstødende bygninger og køretøjer på luftsiden af lufthavnen, skriver tjenesten i et opslag.
Luton Lufthavn ligger i byen Bedfordshire omkring 50 kilometer nordvest for London.
